Akane the Kunoichi/iPad/iPhone/platformer/Reviews

Way, way back, our (then new) editor, Clark, wrote one of his first reviews for Digitally Downloaded: a little indie game on XBLA called Akane the Kunoichi. He rather liked it, and now it’s finally on the other great indie platform, the iOS App Stores. This is a good thing…

June 19, 2012

Devil Band/DSiWare/Reviews/Strategy/Tower defence

Oh look. Another Circle DSiWare game. And you know what? I owe Gameloft an apology. I thought Gameloft was the most offensively cynical developer/ publisher in the games industry, getting away with plagiarism on mere technicalities. But I was wrong.

Battlefield 3/DLC/FPS/premium service/PS3/Reviews

Battlefield 3 is the latest installment in the very popular Battlefield series by DICE. Most compare it to the equally as popular Call of Duty series, however they are both very different. The multiplayer, (arguably the most important aspect of this game), is a one of a kind and allows…

Dead Space was one of the new, quality experiences of 2008. Whether you agree with that statement or not, the list of awards from websites and events ranging from IGN to the BAFTA Game Awards definitely showed that Dead Space was not just another game that could be swept under…
